Jalandhar: Vijay Sampla, former president of the Punjab BJP, said on Saturday that the Aam Aadmi Party govt has confessed to deep-rooted corruption in the chief minister’s office by deliberately withholding original records from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED).Claiming that the CBI’s counter-affidavit in the Supreme Court exposed how the Punjab chief secretary was stonewalling the investigation involving Rajbir Singh Ghuman, the officer on special duty (OSD) for CM Bhagwant Mann, Sampla said the AAP regime’s ‘kattar imaandar’ facade had been shredded before the highest court of the land.Sampla questioned, “If the Mann govt and the officials in the CMO have nothing to hide, why are they terrified of handing over original files?”Calling the obstruction a blatant contempt of court orders, Sampla demanded that the state govt should immediately surrender all original documents to the CBI and stop “misusing state machinery to shield corrupt insiders”.
